Hyattsville residents hosted 7,300 guests through Airbnb in 2017, making it the fourth most popular city in Maryland last year.
The home-sharing website reported that hosts in Hyattsville earned $1 million from stays in the calendar year ending Dec. 31.
Only Baltimore, Annapolis and Silver Spring received more stays, while Bethesda and Fort Washington recorded slightly more income from fewer stays.
Hyattsville discussed regulating short-term rentals through businesses like Airbnb last year, but did not come to any conclusion.
The regulations have been a hot topic in cities where they were introduced.
In 2016, Arlington County legalized home-sharing that had been taking place already, adding restrictions on the number of days. In October, Montgomery County added new restrictions as well, and the D.C. City Council has debated a similar measure.
A major focus in those areas has been on condos, where legal liability is a concern. For more suburban areas like Hyattsville, there have been questions raised by neighbors about renters adding to noise or traffic.
Hyattsville listings on Airbnb range from private rooms to apartments to entire houses, with hosts often noting how close they are to nearby Metro stops, D.C. and the University of Maryland.
